Hi Paul,

Thanks for having tested it, I remove mips from my list.

Thanks again,

Alex

In order to reduce copy/paste of functions across architectures and then
make riscv hugetlb port (and future ports) simpler and smaller, this
patchset intends to factorize the numerous hugetlb primitives that are
defined across all the architectures.

Except for prepare_hugepage_range, this patchset moves the versions that
are just pass-through to standard pte primitives into
asm-generic/hugetlb.h by using the same #ifdef semantic that can be
found in asm-generic/pgtable.h, i.e. __HAVE_ARCH_***.

s390 architecture has not been tackled in this serie since it does not
use asm-generic/hugetlb.h at all.
powerpc could be factorized a bit more (cf huge_ptep_set_wrprotect).

This patchset has been compiled on x86 only.
For MIPS these look good - I don't see any issues & they pass a build
test (using cavium_octeon_defconfig which enables huge pages), so:

Acked-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxx> # MIPS parts

Thanks,
